Rj’s mommy 7 Posted October 13, 2018 I’m , Confused and frustrated because I had my surgery 10/3/17 and according to my scale I only lost 8lbs supposedly I move my scale like 5 times and it changed 5 times I believe I should have lost more then that by more I barely intake much. Can my body be retaining Water ? Or can I be at a stall already? I don’t know what to do and my my two week appointment is 10/17/18 . Has this happen to anybody else ? 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonvivant57 14 Posted October 14, 2018 Greetings, I had RNY on 9/6. When I went for my first post op visit I had GAINED 8lbs. I asked the surgeon if he did a sham surgery! A week later I was down 15 lbs and have never looked back. Get in your fluids, Protein, and Vitamins and good things will happen. Best of luck. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Grandma 22 Posted October 14, 2018 I stalled week 2. Dropped 3 pounds in past 3 days, start of week 3. It'll happen. Just keep on your plan and it will begin.Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 3 Trishamtz317, Rj’s mommy and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J San 1,071 Posted October 15, 2018 You will retain Water from surgery and your swollen. Give yourself time to heal up and stick to your program. The weight will come off. Don't let the scale get you frustrated. Happy healing and enjoy the journey!!! 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rsekouris 2 Posted October 15, 2018 So happy to see this post because I am a week after my operation and I only lost 2lbs... I guess that is the weight of the stomach that was removed and I was so sad I started crying... but it’s good to see it’s normal and it will be fixed soon 2 Frustr8 and AndreaK. reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brttnyj89 30 Posted October 15, 2018 I'm three weeks post and haven't stepped on the scale yet. I can tell I've lost some by the way my clothes hang. I don't plan on seeing what I weight until I follow up with my doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
